Chapter 241: The rivers and lakes have changed
This tunnel leading to the outside is very long and short, Li Xuan and the others need to bow down, fortunately, Nangong Zhenshi has taken into account that the tunnel is too long at the beginning of the design, so there is not a place to rest and sit in about two hundred and thirty zhang per line. Vertices M. updates the fastest
Although the sitting area in the tunnel is a little cramped, there are several open bamboo pipes on the side walls of the stone to ventilate, and everyone can sit down and rest, but they are also refreshed. Li Xuan couldn't help but praise when he saw that although these ventilated holes were only the size of a fist, the air flowing in was extremely fresh, and there was a faint fragrance of trees. Bai Hanbing said as he walked: "Helper, you see, although there are not many of these holes, their role in this tunnel is not trivial. I just looked out of the hole, and the outer mouth was either set up in a dense forest, and the end of the mouth should have been cleverly placed on an old tree. ”
Li Xuan nodded and sighed, "That's right. You see that there are few rat feces and rabbit feces in this tunnel, and I believe that Nangong Zhenshi should often come and go in the tunnel. Bai Hanbing smiled: "That's true. Yesterday, if it weren't for Sha Mantian tying the white wolf with a rope and putting it into the tunnel, and bringing back a hare, we really wouldn't dare to enter the tunnel designed by Nangong Zhenshi easily. ”
Zhao Feiyan sighed when he heard this: "It's the will of heaven, it's all the will of heaven!"
When Li Xuan heard the word 'providence', his heart suddenly tightened.
He remembered that after getting drunk last night, Ling Long took his hand, and the last two words he said repeatedly were also 'Providence'.
He has always believed that Ah Ying's affection for him is just a good impression left when he was young, although he and Tang Bing fell in love at first sight, but because they had the true love of going to Zaoling together, they were always full of heart. As for Ling Long, from the moment he saw her, he had regarded her as a celestial, her calm and elegant, Fuqin casually exuded a dusty aura when she spoke, and the special identity of the hermit of Shaomu Mountain, in short, she had a unique temperament when she interacted with her.
It was not until last night that Ling Long told himself why she dared to disobey the Ling family's ancestral teachings, abandon her identity as a sojourner and wander the rivers and lakes with him, and was willing to be contaminated with wind and frost, that he realized that in fact, since then she has made up her mind to follow her and go through the ups and downs together. All this seemed very sudden, but in fact, it had already accumulated there, but Li Xuan gave it to Tang Bing wholeheartedly and didn't notice it. Now that this layer of window paper has been pierced, Ling Long has decided to stay in the Medicine King Valley, is this a disappointment and sadness for Li Xuan, or a sincere blessing after life and death?
Li Xuan remembered that before leaving, Ling Long handed him the Divine Dance Blade, and said lightly: "Fortunately, I found this sword, you can take it with you!" The moment Li Xuan took over the Divine Dance Blade, he clearly felt that Ling Long's hand was trembling coldly. What happened to her? A few waves of prosperity in the sea, faintly in the red dust of the mulberry field. For the sake of love, a person can open up the world and be fearless of life and death, but he can also gently put it down, quietly put it between the white hair, put it in the vast galaxy where the moon rises and the moon sets, and put it in the smoke and inadvertent contemplation.
At the end of the tunnel, Bai Hanbing and everyone sighed in joy.
Li Xuan retracted his thoughts and saw that the entrance to the tunnel was set between two big trees, and it was hidden that even the birds and beasts in the forest could not detect it.
The sky seemed to be only slightly brighter, and the wind was still blowing slowly. The clouds flew back and forth, leaving the morning light cut into pieces by the branches, scattered among the trees covered with thick fallen leaves. Some remnants of snow hid in the cold corners, left among the branches and leaves of the rocks, some mountain flowers stretched their necks, bubbling with small bones, and the grass sprouted sharp heads, looking from a distance, as if covered with a layer of green fluff. Li Xuan asked Bai Hanbing, "How long have we lived in the valley?" Bai Hanbing calculated carefully and said, "Two months and seventeen days." Li Xuan was surprised: "For so long?"
Bai Hanbing nodded and said, "Exactly, the time is indeed not short." He turned his head and slowly said to Huang Gandan, Zhang Shiwan, Zhao Feiyan, Shi Jianghai, and the sixteen brothers of the Gong family: "Time flies in the valley, is it possible that one day in the valley is a thousand years in the world." They laughed. Huang Gandan sighed and said, "If Nangong True Master hadn't made the Medicine King Valley smoky and full of yin qi, in terms of the environment there, it would indeed be a paradise place. Shi Jianghai nodded and said, "Fortunately, Miss Ling Long is guarding in the valley now, and people like her are ...... in the Valley of the Medicine King like a fairy" As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that maybe he shouldn't have mentioned Ling Long. When Li Xuan saw it, he smiled slightly: "If we can't stay in the rivers and lakes, let's go back to Miss Ling Long!"
Everyone applauded, and when they saw that the sun was already high, they ate some dry food and wine in the same place, and then went on after packing up.
I don't know how long I walked, but I saw a few cultivated farmland in the distance through the ravine. Bai Hanbing found the farmhouse and asked what it was. If you want to go out, you need to go east along a river at the bottom of the mountain to the town called the Asking House, seventy miles away, where there are horses to buy.
Zhao Feiyan heard the three words Wenshe Town, and said happily: "In the early years, I avoided the tracking of the imperial court, lived in Wenshe Town for a while, and met a friend who sold horses, we can find him." Bai Hanbing smiled and said, "Your friend sells horses, could it be that he is the same as Yuan Yufeng, a person from the Medicine King Valley?" Zhao Feiyan shook his head and said, "Impossible." I lived in the town with Brother Sang Markham for a few months, and I tried the man a few times, but he didn't know martial arts, and he was very picky. Hehe, stingy people are always afraid of death, and people who are afraid of death will definitely not dare to deal with the people of the Medicine King Valley who exterminate humanity. Everyone laughed, and began to run to the town. Seventy miles is just a moment for those who are burdened with light skills. Everyone came to the town, found the person Zhao Feiyan said, bought a few horses, and asked for a map to go out of the mountain.
All things in the mountains are washed by the autumn wind, nourished by the winter snow, and when the spring breeze comes, the pieces of green are the first to shine, and the flowers are also scrambling to open the smiling faces, so the most beautiful season in the mountains is very long, and there are many differences with the scenery of the plains.
Walking out of the mountains and forests, the beautiful scenery disappears behind you. At this time, the cold of the road is still there, the wind gathers the dust, and the dust dissipates in the wind.
Li Xuan, Bai Hanbing and Zhao Feiyan broke up at a fork in the road, and made an appointment to meet again in the rivers and lakes one day, so they came to the Ankang branch of the Twelve Chains of Money. This village is not big, about seven or eight houses, and Qi Xinglong, the owner of the village, already knew that An Ruohai, the owner of the village, was injured and died, and passed the position of the owner to Li Xuan. Several people met and shared the rites of subordination. Qi Xinglong gave a brief introduction to the current situation. It turned out that during Li Xuan's time when he was trapped in the Valley of the Medicine King, the rivers and lakes rose again. First of all, Yu Wenhua took advantage of An Ruohai's death to send his peerless master Zhu Jian to annex the seven or eight sub-villages of the twelve chain money villages, and the fourth son Li Yuanji did not have the support of An Ruohai, how could he resist it with the command of Chi Beichuan alone! Although the Grand Duke Li Jiancheng agreed verbally, he put on a posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and refused to really contribute, while Li Shimin looked very bold on the surface, on the one hand, he asked Yan Wushu to protect the property of the fourth prince Li Yuanji to transfer the twelve chain money villages, and on the other hand, he asked Lan Ji'an to take care of the transferred property and turn it into his own. So far, the forces in the rivers and lakes have changed, and the strength of Yu Wenhua and Li Shimin has been greatly enhanced, and he has become the strongest, while Li Jiancheng is short-sighted and complacent, and has no long-term plan, so he can only barely protect himself. Li Yuanji was very angry, and after several trade-offs, he could only move the remnants closer to Li Jiancheng.
Qi Xinglong said in the end, crying and said: "When the owner of An Zhuang was here, the twelve consecutive money village was very stable, although I dare not say that there are many talents, at least the financial resources are abundant, who would have thought that now it will end up with a situation where both people and money are defeated, and they have to disperse and have to leave." ”
Li Xuan said: "In this case, why is your branch village still safe and sound?" Qi Xinglong said: "Our branch village is located in a remote area, in addition to this property, there are also three thousand taels of silver leaves in the warehouse. At that time, the owner of Anzhuang set up a branch village here, but it was just to lay out this empty place, and he did not plan to rely on it to make money and turnover, so this is the poorest and weakest Zhuangzi of the Twelve Consecutive Villages. Right now, they're eating me, I don't know if they forgot it, or they didn't have time to do anything about it. ”
Bai Hanbing sighed solemnly: "The Twelve Serial Money Village collapsed so quickly without the command of An Ruohai's chief manager?" Hey, it seems that no matter how powerful the manpower, material and financial resources are, they still need a good helmsman. Now that our Li Gang Master is here, with him cleaning up the mess, I believe that in a few months, the overall situation can be saved. Qi Xinglong responded, but he didn't look confident. Bai Hanbing saw it in his eyes and couldn't help sneering: "Faith is the source of overcoming everything. It seems that you are frightened. Fortunately, our Tianshen Gang is still there, and they will not be swayed by Yu Wenhua and Li Shimin. ”
Qi Xinglong sneered when he heard this: "After you left, Yu Wenhua and the three brothers of the Li family did not do anything to the Heavenly God Gang, but they were disintegrated by Li Mi of Wagangzhai with the technique of Huairou, and now the Taoist Su Feng and Xiao Zhongxing are forced to leave, Hua Butterfly, Wuchen, and Sun Jian are already Li Mi's henchmen, even if you go back, I am afraid it will be difficult to control the situation." ”
Li Xuanqi said: "Li Mi! He has already gained a firm foothold in Wagang Village?" Qi Xinglong said: "Isn't it just a firm foothold." Hey, after Li Mi went to Wagangzhai, it didn't take much time to force Zhai Rang to death, and he became the big leader of Wagangzhai. Now we are recruiting troops and horses, and we are making a great plan against Sui!" Bai Hanbing stood up and said angrily when he heard this: "In that case, what are we waiting for! Helper, since the situation in the rivers and lakes is urgent, you need to raise your arms." ”
Qi Xinglong said: "Why rush for a while. I've arranged for lunch, and if I want to make a big deal, I'll at least have to eat and drink enough. While speaking, Zhuang Ding put the wine and rice on the table, and the three of them sat down separately, and the wine was dry, and they didn't realize that they had drunk two jars of wine.
Bai Hanbing was worried, so he drank seven or eight bowls, and he felt dizzy. He was secretly surprised, thinking that he was tired, and was about to excuse himself from drinking, but saw Li Xuan fall to the ground on his back with a 'poof'. In a moment of shock, he couldn't support it, his body was crooked, and he fell to the ground weakly. Qi Xinglong saw the two of them fall to the ground, and said in a panicked voice: "What's wrong with you?" stepped forward and shook the two, seeing that the two of them were drunk and hazy, and his speech was slurred, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Is the sorghum wine so strong!" As he spoke, he suddenly shot at Li Xuan and Bai Hanbing's, and loudly called in more than a dozen Zhuang Ding holding ropes. Zhuang Ding moved together, tied the two of them firmly and tied them in the hall of the village.
Qi Xinglong saw that the binding was over, took a bowl of cold water, pried open the teeth of the two and poured it in. When the film is not consumed, the two of them vomited. Li Xuan looked at himself and Bai Hanbing with a pale face, and then looked at Qi Xinglong and said, "Master Qi, what are you doing, why are you tying us up?" Qi Xinglong laughed proudly: "Why did you tie you up? ”
Bai Hanbing scolded: "I don't know if I live or die? ”
Qi Xinglong said: "I have already said before that the rivers and lakes have undergone drastic changes, and all the forces have already regrouped and changed in just a few months, am I not on the rivers and lakes, can I just a small broken boat withstand the wind and waves of this great change!"
Bai Hanbing sneered: "Mo Yan, tell me quickly, who have you thrown yourself into this great change?" Is it Li Shimin or Yu Wenhua?" Qi Xinglong laughed and said: "Of course, it is Li Shimin, the second son with the most royal temperament." Hmph, since you entered the Medicine King Valley, I have been accepted by the people sent by the second son. They arranged for many people to wait around the Medicine King Valley for those who came out of the valley. Whether it is you or Nangong Zhenshi's people, in short, they are not the people of the second son, and they will be killed. ”
Li Xuan said lightly: "Li Shimin is really eloquent, he expects others to be incomprehensible, and he thinks thoughtfully. But how could he send pus-bags like you to do such an important thing? ridiculous, ridiculous. Qi Xinglong smiled and said: "I'm a pus, I'm a pus, and I can still fascinate you!" Li Xuan sneered: "Li Shimin didn't tell you, I have long been invincible?"
Qi Xinglong exclaimed: "I didn't say it. ”
Li Xuan said lightly: "He doesn't like to say, I can do it for you now." As he spoke, his arms shook, and there were a few cracks, and the seven or eight ropes and iron chains that bound him had been shattered into several pieces. Seeing this, Qi Xinglong exclaimed: "It turns out that you pretended to be hit by the soft muscles!" As he spoke, he hurriedly shouted at the Zhuang Ding to come forward to besiege him, and he also drew his sword. Li Xuan laughed, and with just one move, he knocked over more than a dozen Zhuang Ding who surrounded him to the ground, and when he saw Qi Xinglong attacking with a short knife in his hand, he sneered: "It's you who don't know whether to live or die." With a flick of his palm, he snapped his short knife down, and flew up with another kick that knocked him to the ground.
Bai Hanbing was rescued by Li Xuan, and his anger started from his heart, and he slashed all over Zhuang with a big knife in the corner of the hall, killing him cleanly, and when he turned back to find Qi Xinglong, he saw that he had already committed suicide in fear of sin, thinking that it had only been a few months since he entered the valley, and such a change had happened in the rivers and lakes, he couldn't help but sigh, and his heart was difficult to calm down for a while, and a fire ignited Zhuangzi. Li Xuan looked at the raging fire and sighed: "Qi Xinglong's gang has betrayed the Twelve Serial Money Villages, and he can't believe all the words he says...... What happened to the Celestial Gods and the Twelve Chains of Money. Hey, let's do it! I'll give you the Golden Seal of the Celestial Gang's Kuroki Order and the Twelve Chains of Money, and you can take the Order Seal to gather the two subordinates and see what the situation is now. Bai Hanbing said in horror when he heard this: "According to the rules of the Heavenly God Gang and the Twelve Chains of Money Villages, seeing Hei Mu Ling and the Golden Seal is like seeing the owner of the Gang Owner." ”
Li Xuan said lightly: "If people's hearts are scattered, even the Jade Emperor's Black Wood Order and Golden Seal will not be easy to use, just like when Hei Yunyi wanted to use Gu poison to control others, wouldn't it fall apart in the end...... Therefore, those who win the hearts of the people will win the rivers and lakes, and if the hearts of the people are not aligned, there is no way to talk about anything. Take it with you, and if you can't, they're just a piece of wood and gold that can't speak. When Bai Hanbing heard this, he choked up and said, "Where are you going?" Li Xuan sighed and said, "Ling Long originally persuaded me to stay in the Medicine King Valley, but I was worried about Tang Bing and Ah Ying, Yao Zikong, and Zhu Yezi, so I had to go find them." Hey, if I can't restore peace and tranquility to the rivers and lakes with my chivalrous heart, then try my best to protect the people close to me! Alas, Ling Long couldn't keep me before, and I was heartbroken, and when I found Tang Bing and them, I went to the Medicine King Valley to meet Ling Long. But if the chivalrous needs me, I will still come back. ”
Bai Hanbing couldn't help but feel helpless when he heard Li Xuan's words, he took the Black Wood Order and the Golden Seal in his arms, bowed down and said, "Helper, take care." Time does not stop, the rivers and lakes are surging, we are in the rivers and lakes, and we have long been involuntarily. After I close the Celestial Gang and the Twelve Chains of Money, I'll come back to you. After finishing speaking, he flew on the horse and said goodbye to Li Xuanyi. (To be continued.) )
